6 OCTOBER 2022 - APARTMENT MANAGEMENT MAGAZINE AMM7

Lucinda Lilley 2022 President Southern California Rental Housing Association

Housing Provider and Resident Rights and Responsibilities

Throughout

my tenure as President of the Southern California Rental Housing Association, it has become increasingly clear that the essential services our members provide as housing providers all too often go unseen and unappreciated

Recognizing how our community has continued to provide essential services in the wake of ever-changing conditions and legislation, it has become clear that that we are called to clarify and articulate our mission and vision Guided by this revelation, the SCRHA Board of Directors has adopted a new mission and vision statement . This provides the foundation of strategic plan focused on advocacy, education, and collaboration .

While advocacy and education continue to be the bedrock of the Association, outreach is a seemingly new strategy adopted by the Board While this is the first time we have highlighted collaboration in our mission statement and outreach in our strategic plan, neither is a new concept in how we operate and work .

Our industry does not operate in a vacuum Our work as housing providers is what makes the communities where we live and work possible After much discussion, Southern California Rental Housing Association has created a document outlining Housing Provider and Resident Rights and Responsibilities

This document outlines the guiding principles for our members and articulates what we firmly believe everyone can expect from a housing provider Living and operating by these guiding principles shows a commitment to our residents and elected representatives that we care about the housing ecosystem . Further, we are reliable partners in

solving the housing crisis by working collaboratively to determine how to provide more housing

I firmly believe it isn’t enough to state these guiding principles; we must live them out for all to see . By following these Housing Provider and Resident Rights and Responsibilities, we are living our commitment to our residents, neighbors, and all who call Southern California home

While we continue to grow our outreach efforts, this first step of adopting the Housing Provider and Resident Rights and Responsibilities is a supporting pillar of our ongoing advocacy efforts.

Families Fund, for the purpose of spending these tax dollars on rental assistance, homelessness, affordable housing, and housing counseling services.

Further, AB 1199 would require a qualified entity, currently defined as a limited liability company or limited partnership, owning multifamily or singlefamily rental homes, to report specified information about the property each year to the Secretary of State’s Office. That office would have to create a searchable database on its website.

Since the bill is an urgency measure, meaning that if passed, it would take effect immediately, it will require a 2/3rds vote. Usually a high bar, however, with Democrats enjoying more than a 2/3rds majority, it will be difficult to stop. It is hard to believe that someone would introduce a bill to tax property owners for the “privilege” of providing rental housing, especially considering all that has been piled on property owners over the last few years. We would like to see this bill just go away. Very far away.

What is the definition of insanity according to Einstein? “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Well, here we go again. Assembly Member Buffy Wicks has proposed legislation for the third year-in-a-row that would force rental housing providers to register their properties with the government.

AB 1188 would require cities and counties to create and administer a rental registry with an online portal designed to receive specified information from landlords who own or operate five or more rental dwellings. The bill would require landlords to provide a variety of information regarding the location of rental property, its ownership, and its occupancy, among other things. It also would prohibit a landlord from issuing various notices to increase the rent or terminate a tenancy unless the landlord has submitted a form on the online portal.

The SCRHA opposed the prior bills and assisted in killing them. We will work toward the same result in 2021 for AB 1188.

While I have spent much of my message sharing the recently adopted SCRHA Housing Provider and Resident Rights and Responsibilities, I’d like to remind everyone that the midterm elections are quickly approaching . If you haven’t already registered to vote, I encourage you to register and cast your ballot in the election on November 8 . Elections have consequences, and we need to ensure that we elect representatives that will work with us to provide more housing for Southern California .

LEGISLATIVE REGIONALUPDATE

San Diego Selects Developer To Oversee Sports Arena Revitalization Project

LastAugust, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria announced his recommendation for a development team to revitalize the San Diego Sports Arena site in San Diego’s Midway Community . The recommendation goes to the San Diego City Council’s Land Use & Housing Committee and to the full City Council in September The city council will decide if they will accept the mayor’s recommendation, Midway Rising Team, or pick one of the other two project development teams that were among the three finalists. The development team and the city still will need to work through the details of the Sports Arena development agreement .

The City initially entered into an agreement with Brookfield Properties in 2020, but California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) stopped the agreement from moving forward because the city did not properly follow the protocols according to CA’s Surplus Land Act . HCD’s action forced San Diego to start again its selection process for the Sports Arena redevelopment project The City of San Diego in October 2021 issued another Notice of Availability inviting development teams to submit their proposals; five development teams offered their proposals and three were accepted as finalists.

The City’s Real Estate Department with assistance of an independent consultant created a study analyzing the three finalists’ proposals for the Sports Arena property . The study recommended the Midway Rising Development Team to redevelop the four parcels The development team is comprised of Zephyr, Legends, and Chelsea Development; each team would oversee different portions of redevelopment.

The Sports Arena’s redevelopment would be built in several phases over ten years at a cost of $2 5 billion The project proposes to build 2,000 deed-restricted apartments for households earning 80 percent or less of Area Median Income and another 2,250 units at market rate The project includes construction of a 16,000-seat arena and entertainment complex, a 200-room hotel, and 250,000 square feet of commercial space with a public plaza .

The Midway Rising Team was scheduled to present their project to the Land Use & Housing Committee on September 8 and to the full City Council on September 13 for their approval . The council committee and city council does not have to accept the mayor’s recommendation. The other two finalists, HomeTown SD and Midway Village+ development teams, have indicated that they may try to persuade the City Council

to choose their project over Midway Rising or ask the city council to delay its decision

Should the city council agree with the mayor’s recommendation, the city will need to draft a city ballot measure for voter approval The SCRHA will provide future updates

OCEANSIDE SEEING A MAJOR SURGE OF DEVELOPMENT

The City of Oceanside is undergoing a flurry of development activity in recent months drawing both praise and criticism from residents concerned with the city’s future growth The development brings more housing, commercial, and recreational facilities, and even a professional sports venue to the city

Sudberry Properties in August began construction of the Luma apartment community in Oceanside’s new master-planned community called El Corazon, first proposed in 2011 Luma will be a mixed-use project with 268 apartment units . Luma will have 113 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom and 35 three-bedroom units . Luma will be located within one-half mile of North County light rail Sprinter station and is expected to be completed in Fall 2023 .

The 465-acre El Corazon master-planned community is slated to have commercial, residential projects, a variety of recreational and city facilities . The community dedicates 212 acres for park and recreation, 164 acres for open space, a total of 44 acres for commercial, 11 acres for two hotels, and 34 acres for civic services, including a 6,000-seat professional soccer venue (Frontwave Arena) and aquatics center Construction of Frontwave Arena is to be completed by the 2023/24 San Diego Soccer’s season Oceanside was also proposing new enhancements to the Junior Seau Amphitheater and pier plaza on Oceanside’s The Strand .

The Oceanside City Council approved a rezone of a 26acre parcel in located in the North River Road Community in August . The parcel was rezoned from industrial to residential; however, the council reduced the parcel’s housing density from 16 .8 to 15 .1 homes per acre, or the number of potential homes about 10 percent . The decision was in response to nearby residents . Supporters said the rezone will help Oceanside meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals but were also concerned reducing the units per acre could stop builders from building on the site Critics still were unhappy with the decision arguing the parcel should remain industrial so the city could provide more jobs .

The Breeze Luxury Apartments project was rejected by the city’s Planning Commission on 2-3 vote based on its design The Breeze was originally planned to be a

46-townhome project, but the builder could not develop the project as designed . The builder, utilizing the state’s density bonus law, proposed a 146-unit apartment complex which would include 15 units deed restricted dedicated to very low-income households . The project is located on Oceanside Boulevard, Nevada, and Ditmar streets and within one half-mile of a Sprinter light rail station A small group of residents attended the Planning Commission hearing to complain that the project was too tall and large and out of character with the surrounding community The builder stated the project meets state density bonus and affordable housing requirements allowing the project to be built as designed . The builder did not state if they plan to appeal the commission’s decision when this article was created . In June, the Oceanside City Council approved a 57-home development called Cypress Point and the 12 home Fire Mountain project; both projects have an affordable component.

FORECAST SAYS SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE’S ECONOMY REMAINS STRONG, BUT TROUBLES AWAIT

SCRHA staff recently attended the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Southwest Economic Regional Forecast in August The forecast showcased recent accomplishments of the cities in Southwest Riverside County followed by a keynote presentation from economist Christopher Thornberg .

City Managers from the cities of Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar and Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington gave prerecorded presentations on their city’s economic development activities . The presentations highlighted each city’s accomplishments in improving quality of life in education, business development, education, and public safety The recordings mentioned notable projects recently completed or under development and showing southwest riverside cities are experiencing population growth and healthy economic activity

Keynote speaker Director & Adjunct Professor of UC Riverside School of Business, Center for Economic Forecasting & Development, Christopher Thornberg, Ph D, gave a detailed report on the present state of the economy of the United States, California, and Southwest Riverside region and what the economy may look like in the next 12-24 months .

Dr Thornberg challenged the notion that US and region’s economy is presently in a recession He shared data showing national and regional unemployment remains at or near historic lows . All economic classes, particularly lower and middle-income families, have

more income and are spending more than they have in previous years He noted that most sectors are healthy, operating at or above levels prior to the pandemic . However, Thornberg stated there remains some serious economic challenges .

Thornberg noted that many Americans believe the United States is presently in a recession and companies and the public are reducing their spending as a result . He added that California and the nation still face a significant labor shortage noting the number of open jobs far exceed the number of skilled workers and that many older workers chose to retire early during the COVID-19 pandemic

Thornberg stated that California’s biggest economic problem is the lack of available housing . State and local cities’ land use policies continue to discourage the building of market-rate housing and therefore are not building enough housing to keep up with demand Thornberg expected home prices in the region and in California to increase in the long term as there are too many Californians competing for too few available homes . Thornberg stressed the need for production of naturally affordable homes for the workforce and seniors. While building more subsidized affordable housing is helpful, it will not solve the problem of housing affordability alone. He noted the average cost to produce one subsidized unit is pushing $800,000

Thornberg stated, that although region and nation’s economy remain strong, the US economy is in serious risk of overheating, causing a severe recession . He pointed out the federal government’s recent stimulus and several spending packages have increased US’s currency supply by 40 percent in the last several years The massive amount of spending is fueling the rate of inflation to very high levels. Thornberg added that if the federal government does not move quickly to curb its spending or the Federal Reserve does not act quickly to increase interest rates, the regional and national economy will overheat triggering a deep recession . Thornberg concluded that a recession is likely to happen because the federal government and federal reserve have not done enough to reduce spending or raise interest rates so far

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON SEEKS

APPROVAL OF ALBERHILL SYSTEM PROJECT IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY

Southern California Edison (SCE) is waiting for the

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to decide whether it will approve a series of infrastructure projects to Southern Riverside called the Alberhill System project . According to SCE, the project will bring more reliable electricity to accommodate Riverside County, which is expected to double in the next twenty years . Cities such as Lake Elsinore experienced a fifty percent increase in its population and incorporated communities such as French Valley have seen its population increase over thirty percent over the last decade

The project proposes a series of new infrastructure projects and enhancements to existing projects Alberhill will add a total of 20 5 miles of new transmission lines The projects will provide 11 75 miles of double circuit 115-kV transmission lines and 6 5 miles of single-circuit 115-kV lines while removing 11 miles of existing 115kV lines . The project includes new construction of the Alberhill substation located in the community of Temescal Canyon north of Lake Elsinore . The Alberhill substation will connect two new 500-kV transmissions lines to the existing 500-kV transmission line at the Serrano Valley substation and will connect several miles new 500/115-kV transmission lines to several other existing substations Four other existing substations will be enhanced to increase reliability and power to the region and add 9 miles of new fiber optic cable and new telecommunications antennas allowing all five substations to communicate in real time .

Southern California Edison (SCE) introduced the Alberhill System Project in May 2015 Since then, the CPUC has asked SCE several times to modify its design and address potential environmental impacts to air, water, and wildlife in August 2018, and again in May 2020 . CPUC issued another preliminary study in November 2021 recommending SCE address other possible alternatives to the Alberhill system and consider adding battery storage to the project In January 2022, CPUC staff held a public workshop to get feedback on those recommendations When completed, the system will provide more electricity to the cities of Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Hot Springs, Perris, Temecula, Wildomar and the nearby unincorporated areas of Southwest Riverside County .

The SCRHA recently signed a letter of support of the project as infrastructure is a key component to bringing new and much-needed housing to the region The CPUC is expected to rule on the Alberhill project in the 6 to 12 months . For more information, members can visit, https://energized.edison.com/stories/preventing-apower-squeeze-for-a-million-customers-6875086 or visit the CPUC’s project page for more detailed information on the Alberhill Systems project, https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/ environment/info/ene/alberhill/alberhill.html

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) COMPLIANCE LAWSUITS CONTINUE TO “SPARK” IN CALIFORNIA

Weare halfway through 2022 and the accessibility laws have been in place since 1991, and in truth, that should have been plenty of time (30+ years) for property owners with public accessibility to get their properties into compliance . However, most property owners have just addressed a small portion of the ADA compliance issues at their properties Most common of issues is a disabled parking stall; however, again I spend a lot of time and energy with my clients explaining that is not ADA compliance . The only way to protect your investments is to be proactive

Every day approximately 30 plus ADA lawsuits are filed in Federal court in Southern California and the same is true in Northern California Most property owners come face to face with the issues once a lawsuit reaches them, and only then is that when they start to look for information and at their issues Going to Google and researching ADA compliance brings up mountains of information, however, most of what is out there on the Internet is misinformation .

You will soon come to realize that to navigate through an ADA lawsuit you will need a TEAM of experts . Your TEAM should consist of an ADA Designer who can modify the parking lot and interior of your property to meet all current Federal and California building codes

I spend a considerable amount of time educating my clients on ADA compliance because each property here in California is unique . There is no “cookie cutter” way to achieve ADA compliance in the as-built arena unless you have a professional ADA designer to design compliance for your property By hiring only ADA designers and contractors, you will be in a much better position since the designer also performs the corrections in house thus eliminating additional possibilities for incorrect construction which then lends itself to potential multiple, future lawsuits You will also need an expert ADA attorney that knows how to navigate against these 5-to-6 or so law firms that are filing these cases daily.

Your TEAM should also consist of a qualified, CASp inspector that will perform the initial CASp inspection to identify the actual corrections and not simply rely on the allegations within the lawsuit A CASp inspector is a professional who has passed an examination and has been certified by the State of California to have specialized knowledge of the applicability of state and federal construction-related accessibility standards

The problems associated with not hiring a complete and qualified TEAM iare that none of the experts are working together nor do they have a history with a solid successful background to address complicated ADA issues. Ideally, when a lawsuit is filed, the first order of business is to locate and retain the complete TEAM From here the ADA designer and/or contractor will act as the quarterback and simultaneously bring

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RENTAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION - SCHRA.ORG 21

in the ADA attorney and order an initial CASp report . The ADA designer will perform a site visit and modify the complete Accessible Route to meet Federal and California building codes

The expert designer will suggest the property owner obtain a city permit for a variety of reasons that we will address shortly . The “key” is all the professionals should be separate entities so there are no conflicts of interest. For example, your CASp inspector should not be part of the payroll of the designer and/or contractor, nor have a financial stake in any of these entities. It is a conflict if a CASp inspects work the designer or contractor have performed . Additionally, ask the question if the CASp inspectors also work with law firms that file these lawsuits This has become a big concern, so be sure to ask the question This is also true with the designer and/ or contractor, and each of they in turn should not perform the CASp inspections. Another example about conflicts is ask yourself, how a designer or contractor perform the work and in good faith tell the owner they performed the work correctly . This is why the relationships on your TEAM should involve impartial third parties .

There is a considerable amount of information out there between the internet, CASp inspectors, attorneys and contractors on ADA and disabled access compliance, so be very careful California has its own current 2019 California Business Code Section 11 B that they adhere to; however, you must also consider Federal, especially when many of the ADA lawsuits are filed in Federal court California has its building codes that are confusing at times but that do address compliance, and also maintains records of such through building permits showing when alterations had taken place . Often, an expert may state that you do not have to make corrections since the property was compliant 20 years ago But, be very careful with this information since on the surface it may appear helpful, but relying on that statement and possibly doing nothing may not be in your best interest

Past building compliance is not something a city has record of nor do they have the year ADA compliance was met So, the only way to achieve a record of compliance is by obtaining a city permit that addresses ADA compliance . Here at ACR Concrete & Asphalt Construction Corporation, our TEAM highly suggests that a city permit be obtained by our expert designer with formal plans submitted for the local jurisdiction to approve . This permit record will be attached to

the property with a date creating a threshold of when ADA compliance was meet . From this point on, if the property owner obtains any other type of permit, then local jurisdiction should require updated compliance per any new codes which typically are very minor This process allows local jurisdiction to assist you in keeping compliant . Again, we highly suggest obtaining a city permit since virtually any work for purposes of ADA compliance requires a permit If you attempt to perform ADA accessibility work without a permit, the city or county could shut you down and place you as the owner and your tenants in a untenable position .

Furthermore, having a city inspector inspect your ADA construction and ultimately approving the project adds another set of eyes for an additional layer of protection

Here at ACR Asphalt & Concrete Construction, Inc , we do not stop there . We also insist on a CASp reinspection to catch any corrections that the city inspector may have missed . This is such a critical component in achieving ADA and Disabled Access compliance that we do not charge an additional fee for the reinspection Through our decades of experience providing ADA compliance, we troubleshoot how and why property owners end up with multiple lawsuits prior to reaching us The most popular is that the property owner may obtain a CASp report initially but hand it over to an asphalt contractor without a permit and “hope” they perform the work correctly – but, “hope” is not a strategy . Navigating down this path provides no final protection thus leaving the door open for additional, perhaps multiple, lawsuits We highly suggest working with a qualified TEAM that includes an ADA designer, ADA cContractor, CASp inspector, city inspector and expert ADA attorney This will save you time, money and frustration, and provide multiple layers of protection

Being proactive is what we have spent years educating the public on when it comes to ADA compliance . From our dozens of articles and monthly webinars, we are trying to get the word out there - BE PROACTIVE . Because once a lawsuit is filed – it becomes public notice, and the ADA compliance issues do not go away until they have been properly corrected . Merely having a disable parking space is NOT ADA Compliance and that is something that most asphalt and concrete contractors do not understand We have seen during the last 3 years that once a property has been sued for ADA Compliance issues, that the property is likely to be sued again within 6 to 14 months if the property and ALL of its ADA corrections have not been made

Anthony C. Guichard is the President and Founder of ACR Concrete & Asphalt Construction, Inc. He personally holds licenses; A, B, C-12, C-8 & C-32. ACR Concrete & Asphalt Construction, Inc has significant experience addressing complex ADA access compliance issues in the built environment. They are committed to improving access for individuals with disabilities by providing information, education, and access compliance solutions to commercial and rental property owners throughout the State of California.

CAPITOL NEWS California

TheLegislative session in Sacramento has come to an end . The Governor has until the end of September to sign or veto bills . Read on to learn more about the numerous bad bills that SCRHA defeated and the few bills that are currently on the Governor's desk .

BIG WINS - DEFEATED!

SB 1105 (Hueso) – San Diego Regional Equitable and Environmentally Friendly Affordable Housing Finance Agency

As the Legislature moves into full gear the SCRHA continues to review legislation and take positions on bills important to the industry. The SCRHA also continues to participate in the discussion surrounding the state’s rental repayment program and is working on clean-up legislation to SB 91, the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act. While the focus has been on SB 91 and its implementation (and rightfully so) other bills are being introduced that impact the rental housing industry.

This bill would have created the San Diego Regional Equitable and Environmentally Friendly Affordable Housing Finance Agency (SD REEF) and grant it the authority to impose specified taxes and fees. SCRHA opposed this bill from the beginning and was joined by other housing and business groups as the bill progressed. The SCRHA wounded the bill significantly in Assembly Housing and Assembly Local Government Committee The bill passed on courtesy votes and went on to the Assembly Appropriations Committee where SCRHA worked to get the bill held on “suspense .” Through SCRHA lobbying and the grassroots efforts of members who called and emailed Assemblymembers, we were able to stop SB 1105 in the Assembly

AB 854 (Lee, D-San Jose) is another Ellis Act bill (one of many we have seen over the last few years) that would prohibit rental housing providers in rent control jurisdictions from using the Ellis Act to terminate tenancies and exit the rental market until all owners of the property have held their ownership interest for five years or more.

The bill would also prohibit an owner from using the Ellis Act if the owner subsequently purchases a property within 10-years of filing the notice of intent to withdraw the property from the market. Moreover, it would require an owner to identify all persons or entities with an ownership interest in the property when the owner plans to withdraw

SB 1335 (Eggman) – Credit History of Persons Receiving Housing Subsidies

The bill would have mandated that a rental housing provider offer prospective tenants who receive a

government rent subsidy the option to present alternative financial information in place of a credit report. It would have also required the housing provider to consider that alternative evidence in lieu of the person’s credit history when determining whether to offer the rental accommodation to the applicant

accommodations from the market. Finally, AB 854 would add penalties for violations of the law — $2,000 for each violation and attorney’s fees and costs in an amount fixed by the court.

AB 2383 (Jones-Sawyer) – Criminal Background Screening

According to the author, the bill is aimed at stopping speculators from buying rent-controlled properties and then using the Ellis Act to remove the residents. The young legislator does not understand that his bill would tie all rental housing providers, including small owners, to money-losing ventures.

You may recall that Senator Mark Leno proposed a similar bill in 2015 which was defeated by the SCRHA and other rental housing organizations. We will try to do the same to this one.

As introduced, AB 2383 was bad enough, limiting when housing providers could use criminal background checks during the rental process with convoluted, hard to follow rules . In an attempt to make the bill more attractive, the author amended it to codify a safe harbor provision for housing providers who followed the procedures outlined in the bill and gave compliant landlords protection from fair housing disparate impact liability when using a criminal background check as part of the screening process However, the author just couldn’t help himself and amended the bill expanding the definition of “prohibited criminal history information." The expanded definition now prohibits owners and managers from using any information whatsoever related to a person’s interactions with law enforcement This is unacceptable to SCRHA whose members use criminal background checks to help keep their communities safe for all residents . The bill was also held in the Assembly Appropriations Committee

Legislation introduced last week aims to tax property owners for the “privilege” of providing rental homes and create a searchable database of certain rental properties. AB 1199 (Gipson, D-Los Angeles) would impose an annual excise tax upon a person or entity owning 10 or more multifamily or single-family rental properties. The tax rate would be based on the gross receipts of the rental income, an amount yet undefined. The bill also would create a Homes for

AB 2597 (Bloom) – Mandatory Air Conditioning

AB 2597 would have required any building with a dwelling

unit to maintain adequate cooling and deemed that the lack of cooling a substandard condition for human habitation . SCRHA opposed the bill and lobbied for its defeat . We argued requiring owners to add “adequate” cooling to already existing housing that does not need it is an overreach to say the least The bill did not take into consideration that retrofitting an old dwelling unit with a cooling unit is not a simple matter . Most older apartments are not designed to allow for the later installation of a central cooling system and separate window inserts are not energy efficient. As a result of our opposition Assembly Member Bloom decided not to move forward with the bill .

SB 1026 (Wieckowski) – Residential energy efficiency disclosure statement

This bill would have granted, beginning January 1, 2024, a prospective tenant the right to obtain from the owner of a residential dwelling unit a residential energy efficiency disclosure statement for the residential unit offered. Rental property owners are already required to provide extensive notices and documentation before and upon signing a rental agreement . SCRHA argued that an energy efficiency disclosure provides no significant information for which the tenant can act upon

EARLY DEATHS

AB 1791 (Nazarian) – Rent Control

As introduced, AB 1791 imposed an annual $500 per residential unit tax on residential units As amended, AB 1791 would have allowed local governments to impose rent control on property owners who have 10 or more single family homes and who have annual gross receipts of $1 billion or more

AB 1858 (QuirkSilva) – Substandard Housing

AB 1858 could have extended existing inspections and code enforcement to any buildings used for human habitation, regardless of zoning, and creates tenant protections when buildings are deemed unsafe

AB 2050 (Lee) – Ellis Act

The gazillionth bill introduced in the last decade seeking to amend the Ellis Act and make it harder for rental housing providers to go out of business This iteration would have prevented an owner from withdrawing their rental properties from the market for 5 to 10 years depending on certain circumstances .

AB 2095 (Kalra) - would have required employers with more than 1,000 employees to report data regarding wages, benefits, scheduling, and safety for their entire workforce This was overreaching, onerous and unnecessary, opening the door for potential lawsuits SCRHA opposed the bill along with many others and

the bill was held in Assembly Appropriations Committee

AB 2386 (Bloom) – Tenancy in Common

Would have specified that regulation of the design and improvement of any multifamily property held under a tenancy in common subject to an exclusive occupancy agreement is vested in the legislative body of the local agency .

AB 2469 (Wicks) – Statewide Rental Registry

AB 2469 would have created a rental registry . This marked the 5th or 6th time she introduced such a bill and failed

AB 2527 (QuirkSilva) – Credit Reports

AB 2527 would have prohibited a housing provider from using credit reports in tenant screening and from asking about any information that would be included in a report, such as payment history or evictions

AB 2710 (Kalra) – First Right of Purchase

The bill would have created the “Stable Homes Act” requiring an owner who intends to sell a rented singlefamily or multi-family building to provide the first right to purchase the home or multi-family building to the tenants and to organizations registered with HCD .

AB 2713 (Wicks) – Rent Caps & Just Cause (“cleanup” to AB 1482)

This bill sought to further restrict the just-cause provisions of existing law as they related to owner move-in and substantial rehab .

SB 1324 (Durazo) – Debt Collection Practices: Rental Debt

Would have added “rent debt” to the debt collector requirements of existing law, perhaps subjecting housing providers to strict and complicated rules .

ON THE GOVERNOR’S DESK

AB 1738 (Boerner Horvath) – EV Charging Stations

AB 1738 would require mandatory building standards for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations within existing multifamily dwellings, hotels, and motels While a direct mandate as introduced, SCRHA opposition caused the author to amend slightly to require the state to research and develop mandatory installation standards for future adoption, likely meaning costly retrofits for rental properties at some point.

AB 2559 (Ward) – Reusable Screening Reports

(Update: Signed into law 9/14/22)

As introduced, the bill created a process for acceptance by a landlord of a “reusable tenant screening report .” However, the bill was unclear as to whether it was

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RENTAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION - SCHRA.ORG 31
Continued from page 29

voluntary . However, the author has amended the bill making clear that AB 2559 is voluntary and encourages tenants to post the reusable screening report to an independent third party on-line The amendments eliminate notice requirements on the part of the landlord as well .

SB 1017 (Eggman) – Domestic Violence

This would modify existing law to allow the perpetrator of domestic violence to continue to visit a dwelling unless they pose an “actual and imminent threat . These changes allow a perpetrator of domestic violence to engage in conduct that today warrants eviction of any other tenant; the perpetrator of domestic violence is protected above and far beyond other tenants in the building . Given the current challenges when it comes to evictions, even under existing law, the perpetrator could be at the property creating problems for the victim and other residents for months before the case comes before the judge. If a judgment is entered, the sheriff will have to extract just the perpetrator and the perpetrator’s possession from the property, rather than emptying the unit entirely While well intentioned, SCRHA believes the bill will only complicate the issue at hand Recent amendments may address some of our concerns .

SB 1477 (Wieckowski) – Enforcement of judgments: wage garnishment

SB 1477 will slash the allowable wage garnishment to 0% for $24 38/hr or less wage earners, needlessly exempting them from any wage garnishment, and making them judgment proof . In $17/hr . minimum wage localities, $27 .63/hr . wage earners would be completely exempt This exemption is not need-based and would apply to all debtors based on individual pay, no questions asked . This exemption would apply to high-income tenants, including those tenants who did not pay the rent and who refused to apply for state assistance

AB 2188 (Quirk) – Discrimination in employment: use of cannabis

This bill, on and after January 1, 2024, would also make it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a person in hiring, termination, or any term or condition of employment, or otherwise penalize a person, if the discrimination is based upon the person’s use of cannabis off the job and away from the workplace, except for preemployment drug screening, as specified, or upon an employer-required drug screening test that has found the person to have nonpsychoactive cannabis metabolites in their hair, blood, urine, or other bodily fluids. The bill would exempt certain applicants and employees from the bill’s provisions, including employees in the building and construction trades and applicants and employees in positions requiring a federal background investigation or clearance .

AB 1949 (Low) – Employees: bereavement leave

Requires private employers with five or more employees and public sector employers to provide employees with at least 30 days of service up to five unpaid days of bereavement leave upon the death of a family member

If an employer has an existing leave policy providing for less than five days of paid bereavement leave, the employee shall be entitled to no less than a total of five days of bereavement leave, consisting of the number of days of paid leave under the existing policy, and the remainder of days of leave may be, but are not required to be, unpaid .

SUPPORTED BILLS

Accessory Dwelling Units

SCRHA supported AB 916 (Salas), a bill sponsored by our statewide partner, CalRHA, as well as two other Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) bills, SB 897 (Wieckowski) and AB 2221 (Quirk Silva) The bills, now awaiting signature from the Governor, will help streamline the ADU approval process .

Renters' Tax Credit

SB 843 (Glazer) would have increased the tax credit amount for qualified renters. The bill did not make it out of the legislature this year .

Use of the Term Landlord

SCRHA supported a bill sponsored by our sister association in Orange County that seeks to address the use of the term "landlord" in state code . AB 2503 (Garcia), if signed by the Governor, will require the California Law Revision Commission to, on or before December 31, 2024, deliver to the Legislature a study regarding the establishment of consistent terminology across the California codes to describe the parties to an agreement, lease, or other contract for the rental of residential real property

Emergency Declarations

SCRHA supported several bills all designed to streamline and improve the process when the Governor makes an Emergency Declaration . The use of emergency declarations, which trigger price gouging rules, has become a common tool of California Governors over the years Often times, the emergencies have little to no correlation to housing, yet impact the ability of housing providers to reset their rents at vacancy . Of the bills we supported, only AB 1687 from Riverside area Assembly Member Seyarto passed If signed, during a state of emergency, the Governor may only suspend a regulatory statute in connection with the specific conditions of the emergency proclaimed . SCRHA will continue to look for opportunities to sponsor or support bills to make sure emergency declarations don't harm housing providers

Office Conversions: A Multifamily Housing Solution That Never Happened

“DARK WINDOWS. QUIET LOBBIES. HUSHED HALLS.”

Theseopening lines of a New York Times article from April 2021 describe once-thriving offices in downtown New York . At the start of the pandemic, offices nationwide shuttered and we entered the era of remote work . The article suggests residential housing could come from commercial office conversions . Ideally, such office conversions would help solve the affordable housing crisis and put those “dark, quiet, hushed” buildings to good use .

It sounds like a smart plan, but it hasn’t happened, at least not on a meaningful scale And it doesn’t look like office conversions to affordable housing are in many developers’ plans . The conversion solution is creative, but it just doesn’t work This article looks at why commercial buildings aren’t going to solve the housing crisis and what is happening to unused offices spaces instead .

We’ll also show you some housing solutions that actually work (and are happening now) .

OFFICE CONVERSIONS: NICHE MARKETS FOR LUXURY HOUSING

According to a July 2022 CommercialEdge report, “Conversions of office buildings to apartments … have proven to be difficult because most such projects are not profitable . ”

The report continues, “Some developers work around this by placing amenities in the center of a building, but this is likely a solution only for luxury apartments . ”

This analysis reveals the two central issues with offices conversions . The first is how difficult it is for property management companies to make a profit The second is the likelihood that converted office buildings will primarily cater to wealthier renters As a result of these two issues, property developers tend to look for the easiest win . They find it in densely populated cities with thriving downtown districts That’s where their projects command the highest market rates and see the best returns Prime commercial real estate is highly profitable, and current residential conversions are making the most out of the opportunity Manhattan’s iconic One Wall Street building, with more than 1 million square feet

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RENTAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION - SCHRA.ORG 37

of office space, is being converted into 566 luxury condos . In Salt Lake City, Hines a 24-story building

be converted into a 255-unit luxury

CONVERSIONS ARE DIFFICULT, SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE

High ceilings, deep floor plates, unworkable layouts, electrical/plumbing issues and more all make it difficult to convert commercial buildings into residential housing . According to the CommercialEdge report, “Office conversions that provide much needed workforce housing likely won’t happen on a large scale unless there are deep discounts on distressed properties or until the state and local governments provide substantial incentives ” Currently, there is no indication that government subsidies and/or mandates are on the horizon .

It seems that the dream of converting millions of square feet of unused or underused commercial property is going to remain just that — a fleeting dream inspired by the early days of the pandemic .

WHAT ABOUT OFFICE-TO-INDUSTRIAL CONVERSIONS?

Commercial Property Executive (CPE) states that it’s not easy or financially viable to convert offices into industry spaces . “Office-to-industrial conversions are pricey endeavors,” says CPE “For starters, the buildings generally have to be demolished … a project has to be sited in a location that can achieve premium rental rates to make economic sense ”

Jason Tolliver, Cushman & Wakefield’s Americas Logistics & Industrial Investor lead, said industrial conversions are happening where there are “high barriers to supply, most notably in Southern California, in Northern New Jersey — areas where you’re close to the population, you have a voracious

tenant appetite for demand, really high replacement cost and no real opportunity to go down to the next exit and develop ”

As with residential housing conversions, it’s difficult for most businesses to profit from such conversions, so the barriers to entry are unusually high .

AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTIONS THAT WORK

The need for affordable housing has reached a crisis level . A recent NPR report reveals that 25% of renters pay more than 50% of their income toward housing

Property managers, owners, investors and certainly renters all know how important it is for people to be able to afford to live where they live . And it’s clear that office conversions aren’t the answer

So what does work? We’ll approach the answer to that question by looking at the vital roles property management software solutions and PACs play in the industry

AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS COMPLEX, BUT SOFTWARE MAKES IT EASIER

Affordable housing operators face unique difficulties that few others in the industry face . The amount and complexity of the paperwork to keep up with can be overwhelming Small mistakes lead to big fines that can break the business . While there are surely many reasons for the housing shortage, the limited interest in the sector from potential owners and operators certainly contributes to the housing shortage According to the NPR report, only 25% of households that qualify for Section 8 actually get a voucher More affordable property managers are needed to help address this issue .

If the complexity of the affordable housing industry is scaring anyone away from entering the industry, know this: the latest affordable housing software

forward-thinking. Now, Gen Z is not as concerned with recreation or downtime at the office, rather a financial investment in their future. However, stock options and a standard 401(k) won’t cut it when they are actually searching for “student loan assistance, tuition reimbursement, and maternity and paternity benefits.” This generation values a work-life balance and is highly optimistic for the future, so these types of benefits will not only attract but also encourage them to stay and take advantage of these opportunities.

Continued from page 38 has been steadily changing everything for property managers . It helps operators automate tasks that once took hours It eliminates or greatly reduces manual data entry at the leasing and renewal stages . The right tech can even integrate online compliance workflows during the leasing process

Affordable housing managers can even choose to outsource compliance paperwork to their software provider for fast, guaranteed processing

None of this streamlining and automation was possible until a few years ago . Now, it’s helping make affordable housing a more rewarding and manageable career option . Any way you look at it, cloud-based technologies and simplified workflows are essential to helping resolve the affordable housing crisis

Gen Z job seekers cite a company’s commitment to diversity as an important factor in deciding whether or not to accept an offer.” Here it is very important for a company to talk the talk and walk the walk. Diversity and inclusion cannot just be a phrase in your company’s mission statement or a committee that meets once a quarter. This dedication needs to be seen in initiatives like asking one’s pronoun preference, adequate accommodations for those who are differently-abled, policies to ensure fair and equal pay, etc.

INDUSTRY PACS ARE ALWAYS ACTIVE

They Want to See Diversity and Inclusion

feel if it’s a right fit, the offer should be made. “Nearly one in five Gen Zers expect a job offer one week from the initial phone screen. The majority expect an offer within two weeks.” Whether this expectation is realistic or not, companies that make an actionable change to speed up their hiring process will win top Gen Z talent.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) TAKES NEW, ADVERSARIAL POSITION ON COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIP REGULATIONS

The FCC announces new regulations on cable home wiring, certain exclusive access payment schemes and exclusive marketing arrangements.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the activity of cable companies, other video services providers and telephone companies within residential and commercial multiple dwelling units (MDUs) . There are FCC rules governing the disposition of cable home wiring used within an MDU to serve an apartment after the cable company ceases to serve the resident (Rule 76 802)

In addition, FCC rules ban common carriers from entering into or enforcing agreements with a building owner who restricts the right of the resident to obtain common carrier services (e g , telephone service) from an alternative provider (Rule 64 .2500), and prohibit cable companies and other video services providers from enforcing or executing contractual provisions that grant them the

exclusive right to provide any video programming service (alone or in combination with other services) to an MDU resident (Rule 76 2000) The purposes of these various rules have been to promote resident choice in its selection of communications service providers and competition for subscribers in MDU environments

On Feb 15, 2022, the FCC promulgated additional regulations intended to promote those goals . By Report and Order and Declaratory Ruling (Report and Order), the FCC expanded this regulatory scheme (i) to clarify that the sale-and-leaseback of cable home wiring is and has been subject to prohibition by FCC regulation; (ii) to ban exclusive revenue sharing agreements; (iii) to ban graduated revenue sharing agreements; and (iv) to require the disclosure of the terms of exclusive marketing agreements to residents . The nature and scope of each of these actions are described below

1. THE BAN ON THE SALE-AND-LEASEBACK OF HOME WIRING

(a) The Ban . A “sale-and-leaseback arrangement” is any arrangement whereby a video provider already serving the building conveys its inside wiring to the property owner (by sale or other vehicle) and then leases it back on an exclusive basis. The FCC finds that sale-and-leaseback arrangements that deny residents the opportunity to exercise their rights under Rule 76 802(a)(2) are prohibited Those Rule 76 .802(a)(2) rights include the right of the resident or the building owner to buy the cable home wiring at replacement cost when the resident terminates the video service provider’s service Cable home wiring is the wiring within the resident’s unit to a point 12 inches outside of the unit and, in addition, the wiring extending from this 12-inch point to the junction box if this wiring is behind sheetrock or another permanent barrier.

(b) Retroactive Application . As this is an interpretation of existing rules, and not the creation of a new rule, this ban applies retroactively; in other words, even though you might not have interpreted the FCC Rule 76 .802(j) to ban the practice, that is how the FCC reads it, and this newly declared prohibition has thus existed since the rule was adopted in 1996 The FCC recognizes that this interpretation will catch almost everyone off guard and, to be fair, will focus its “scrutiny on sale-and-leaseback arrangements entered into after the Commission began examining this practice [on June 23, 2017], [and]… will forego focusing on arrangements made prior to this time ”

(c) Covered Entities . This interpretation is of Rule 76 802(j), which applies only to cable company and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPD) . Accordingly, this interpretation of the rule does not extend to common carriers (except if they provide video program services) or internet service providers (ISPs) who are providing residents with just internet service and applications run on the internet (such as Voiceover-Internet Protocol [VoIP] telephone service) but not multichannel video programming service . Similarly, as an apartment building owner is not a cable company or an MVPD, it is not subject to this rule or the enforcement of this rule .

2. THE BAN ON EXCLUSIVE REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS AND GRADUATED REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS

residents, on the condition that the building owner not accept similar consideration from any other provider. The FCC already bans exclusive access agreements and found that exclusive revenue sharing agreements are anti-competitive and amount to de facto exclusive access agreements . This ban is limited to the provisions in an agreement that create the banned right and is not intended to render the other provisions of whole contracts unenforceable .

(b) Ban on Graduated Revenue Sharing Agreements .

The Report and Order bans cable companies, other MVPD providers and common carriers from entering into or enforcing “tiered” or “successbased” agreements, in which the provider pays the building owner a greater percentage of revenue as its penetration in the building increases The FCC found that these agreements are anticompetitive and amount to “de facto” exclusive access agreements because they discourage competitive entry to apartment buildings and circumvent the prohibition on exclusive access agreements . This ban is limited to the provisions in an agreement that create the banned right and is not intended to render the other provisions of whole contracts unenforceable .

(c) Retroactive Application . These enforcement prohibitions apply to both new agreements and existing agreements The ban on the entry into these types of arrangements begins 30 days after the Report and Order is published in the Federal Register The enforcement ban applicable to existing agreements begins 180 days after that publication date

(d) Covered Entities These bans apply to cable companies, other MVPD providers and common carriers These bans do not apply to apartment building owners or ISPs who do not also provide multichannel video programming service

3. THE REQUIREMENT TO DISCLOSURE THE TERMS OF EXCLUSIVE MARKETING AGREEMENTS TO RESIDENTS

(a) Ban on Exclusive Revenue Sharing Agreements

(a) Definition of Exclusive Marketing Agreement. The FCC defines the exclusive marketing agreement as an arrangement, either written or in practice, between a building owner and a cable company, another MVPD or a common carrier that gives the service provider, usually in exchange for some consideration, the exclusive right to certain means of marketing its service to residents . The Report and Order does not ban them but requires the provider to disclosure them to residents .

the building, that such a right does not mean that the provider is the only entity that can provide such services to residents, and that service from an alternative provider may be available .

(c) Where Disclosures Must Be Made The disclosures must (1) be included on all written and electronic marketing material from the provider directed at residents or prospective residents; (2) identify the existence of the exclusive marketing arrangement and include a plainlanguage description of the arrangement and what it means; and (3) be made in a manner that it is clear, conspicuous and legible

(d) Retroactive Application This obligation applies to existing and new exclusive marketing arrangements . For new arrangements, the FCC will enforce compliance with the disclosure requirement after the Office of Management and Budget completes its review of the new requirement . The FCC will not enforce compliance with the disclosure requirement for existing exclusive marketing arrangements until the later of (1) the Office of Management and Budget completing its review of the new requirements, or (2) 180 days after publication of the Report and Order in the Federal Register

(e) Covered Entities This disclosure requirement applies to cable companies, other MVPD providers and common carriers . It does not apply to building owners or to ISPs who are not also providing multichannel video programming service .

4. HOW TO REACT TO THESE NEW FCC PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FCC recognizes that its actions are upsetting established contractual expectations To provide building owners and providers with time to resolve the resulting confusion, the FCC has deferred the effectiveness of these constraints on the enforcement of existing contract provisions until 180 days after the Report and Order is published in the Federal Register During this time, we would expect to see how the providers and building owners establish new practices to adapt to these new rules .

It is suggested that you promptly identify your agreements that are affected by the bans and disclosure requirements. It is not recommended to put much focus on the exclusive marketing provisions of the contract, as the FCC confirmed that the requirements to disclose exclusive marketing agreements imposes no obligations on the building owner Instead, you should focus on exclusive and graduated revenue provisions and, for contracts executed after June 23, 2017, wiring sale-leaseback agreements . Agreements you have with broadband internet service providers (who

do not bundle common carrier or video services) are not subject to the bans . It is further suggested that you contact your counterparty providers soon so that discussions can be held . You cannot unilaterally resolve the contract issues the FCC has created

These bans are only on the enforcement by the regulatee of certain provisions The FCC envisions that the remainder of the contracts containing these provisions will be unaffected, but that may not be the case in many situations . In some cases, the provider may be relieved of its duty to pay the building owner because the provider is barred from enforcing the exclusivity associated with the payment . In other cases, the unenforceability of a provision could go to the heart of the agreement, rendering the whole agreement void or voidable . These are issues of state contract law, and there is considerable variability from state to state in how courts treat such contract issues . There may be an argument under state law that as long as the building owner honors the exclusivity provision, the provider has to make payments it agreed to make for that provision

There are good arguments that the parties can continue to voluntarily obey these existing exclusivity provisions without violating the FCC rules . The rules place no expressed duty on the building owner to observe these provisions . The rules do not say that the building owner cannot receive the payment for exclusivity and do not say that the provider cannot pay for the exclusivity .

The only prohibition is on the provider “enforcing” the exclusivity . While the FCC has not said what it means to “enforce” one of these provisions, enforcement is generally defined as compelling observance of or compliance with a law, rule or obligation . Voluntary compliance with a provision, thus would generally not be considered the enforcement of a provision or a violation of the rule .

Generally, the FCC enforces its regulations through consent decrees (which are voluntary) and imposing monetary forfeitures on those who violate its regulations Forfeiture proceedings under 47 USC 503 cannot proceed against a “non-regulatee” building owner until it has received a citation and it continues the violation after the end of the notice period in the citation Section 503 contains no language authorizing the FCC to assess a forfeiture against those that aid or abet a rule violation .

In short, building owners appear to be insulated from the requirements of the Report and Order and voluntary compliance with banned provisions appears not to be prohibited by the rules, but it cannot be said how the FCC’s enforcement regime for these bans will roll out or evolve .

HOW YOUR TENANT SCREENING HANDLES THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY AND THE PEOPLE ON IT

The

United States is moving closer towards a renter-friendly nation with renter-friendly laws . As renters cheer every time tenant screening laws shift in their favor, landlords and property managers across the nation have to adjust to the turning, pro-renter tide . Despite that, screening is a necessity and there is always one argument you can pose To be in the rental housing industry means you need to have the information to enable smart leasing decisions and keep yourself safe from litigation . You need to know about the sex offender registry.

A DIFFERENT BEAST

When it comes to the sex offender registry, these records are an entirely different beast than other criminal record databases. There are different levels to these records, known as levels one, two, and three Across states, levels one, two and three depend on age, risk of repeat offense, and if they are a danger to the public. The most notable factor is, however, that only Level Three Sex Offenders are made known to the public, while the lower levels may be found at county levels

It gets muddier in some states as records can have different expungement laws. Missouri allows “Romeo and Juliet laws” exceptions If you’ve had ‘consensual’ physical relations with someone older than fourteen, you can have your sex offender registration expunged after two years Crossing state lines changes things, and sometimes city lines as well In Seattle, Fair Chance Housing Ordinance SMC 14 09 states that landlords cannot outright “categorically exclude” anyone with a record, including sex offenders. Depending on the state, rental applicants who are on the sex offender registry also have to abide by different rules.

RULES TO LIVE BY AS A SEX OFFENDER IN

CALIFORNIA ILLINOIS

Fees of up to $10,000, no noted registry fines.

Fines of $25,000 $100 costs to register as an of fender and yearly registry fees of $100 .

Must disclose their social media identifiers.

Not allowed within 2,000feet of a School .

Must report within 5 days of a residential move

No social media while under parole or probation

Not allowed within 500-feet of a school .

Must report within 3 days of a residential move

While the applicants are responsible for abiding, and keeping up with, state-specific sex offender registry laws, they can also be used as guidelines for leasing standards for each of your properties

HOW IMPORTANT

As a landlord, you need to make the most informed decision that you can Anyone would want to know who they are renting to You want to know if they’ve been convicted of any crimes, and if it was nonviolent or otherwise . As a landlord, your job is to provide safe housing, but you can’t always know who your applicants are from first glance. That’s why you should rely on a tenant screening service with a thorough criminal record search. With criminal databases like the sex offender registry backing your rental decisions, you’re doing your job protecting your assets and the local community .

FIVE CRITICAL THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN DECIDING TO DO A 1031 EXCHANGE

Ifyou’ve picked up a financial publication recently, chances are you’ve seen references to 1031 Exchanges . A 1031 exchange is a legal way for investors to defer their capital gains taxes on the sale of real estate held for investment or business purposes It allows one to defer taxes on a property sale as long as they follow specific 1031 rules and guidelines . In other words, you have the potential to keep all your profits working for you with the purchase of your next investment property, without the IRS coming after you looking for their share of the pie Here are five things to remember before a 1031 exchange .

1. TAXES ARE APPLICABLE IN A NON-1031 EXCHANGE

When an investor sells a property that has gone up in value this results in several types of taxes These include capital gains taxes, which the investor must pay if they sell the asset at a price higher than they initially paid for it Federal capital gains are taxed at 15-20% of the increase in value, while state capital gains are taxed between 0- 13 3% of the increase in value .

Depreciation recapture taxes are taxes due when the

Dwight is a published author with multiple published white papers and articles on 1031 exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) properties and real estate securities . He has been interviewed on local and nationally syndicated radio stations on the matters of 1031 exchanges and replacement proper ties . He also is the author of the published book “Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) Properties: An Introduction to DST Properties for 1031 Exchange Investors ” Dwight began his career in commer cial real estate working for a national commercial real estate brokerage firm focusing on multifamily and commercial real estate

seller had claimed depreciation expenses on the sold property . Depreciation recapture is currently taxed at 25% of the amount you have depreciated over the years . Other taxes incurred on property sales include the 3 8% Medicare surtax

The beauty of a 1031 Exchange is that you can defer all of these taxes But if you choose to sell your property without a 1031 exchange, ensure you consult a reputable attorney and CPA so you can know what your full tax bill will be when adding up federal capital gains, state capital gains, depreciation recapture and the medicare surtax

2. YOU NEED A QUALIFIED INTERMEDIARY

A 1031 exchange isn’t as simple as selling and reinvesting in another property You must first transfer the relinquished property to an intermediary or an accommodator so they can execute the sale on your behalf . This is a process whereby your sale contract is assigned to the qualified intermediary and when the property closes your funds are then wired to your account at the qualified intermediary . From there you will instruct which properties you would like the qualified intermediary to purchase on your behalf Kay Properties is not a qualified intermediary however we work with many throughout the country so if you would like a referral please let us know .

3. YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE A LIKE-KIND ASSET

For you to defer taxes via a 1031 exchange, you must reinvest the profits from the sale in like-kind property . In other words, if you sell a property held for investment or business purposes in a 1031 exchange, the replacement property must be of the same character . For example, you could sell an apartment building and purchase a commercial building or you could sell a rental home and purchase a DST 1031 investment

4. REMEMBER DEADLINES

1031 exchanges are subject to strict deadlines . If you sell a property today, you’re expected to have identified the replacement property within the next 45 days and reinvested the proceeds within 180 days But if you’d already identified the replacement property, you can reinvest immediately .

5. UNDERSTAND YOUR 1031 EXCHANGE OPTIONS

Once investors have decided to do a 1031 exchange they should consider their options

First, they could purchase another type of investment property that they would manage on their own .

Second, they could purchase a triple net lease property whereby a national tenant such as Walgreens or FedEx has leased the property for typically 10-15 years . The problem with the triple net leased properties is that it causes investors to place a large portion of their net worth into a single property which could be disastrous (think Blockbuster Video)

Third, if the investor is wanting to get out of active management and the day to day issues of dealing with tenants, toilets and trash as well as they are wanting to diversify their investments into multiple properties then a DST 1031 exchange may be a solution The DST (or Delaware Statutory Trust) is a type of property whereby the management is handled by a third party trustee and since the typical minimum investment of a 1031 DST offering is $100,000 investors are able to purchase a diversified portfolio of Delaware statutory trust properties that may include a piece of Walgreens for 100k, piece of a FedEx distribution warehouse for 100k and a piece of a 800 unit portfolio of multifamily properties located throughout the south east and Texas* .

EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN EVERY DAY IN CALIFORNIA Act now to be resilient

Thismonth, an estimated 18 million Americans will take part in the Great ShakeOut, a national safety drill designed to heighten awareness of the many ways to prepare for a major earthquake .

We’ll hear many important messages about earthquake risk and personal safety, culminating with the annual drill, which happens on the third Thursday of every month –October 20 this year . (Visit ShakeOut .org for more information )

While having adequate supplies on hand and learning the drop-and-cover techniques recommended to avoid injury from falling objects are very important, these once-a-year practices are not a panacea to larger, more looming issues

There is a 99% chance an earthquake of magnitude 6 .7 or greater will strike California by 2044 . Experts say the “Big One” is indeed coming, and it’s going to be like nothing any of us have ever experienced before . Tens of thousands of our buildings are at extreme risk of failure or collapse when it happens

San Diego faces the risk of a 6 9-magnitude earthquake along the Rose Canyon fault, which could devastate the city, according to the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, which projected these losses:

• 45% of all residential buildings damaged

• 23,000 residential units severely or completely damaged

• 36,000 households displaced

• 40% of commercial and industrial buildings damaged, (20% extensively or beyond repair)

• $38 billion in damage

• $5.2 billion in lost income

This month, I want us to be especially candid with each other and ourselves .

During this month’s ShakeOut, we’ll pack emergency kits for our children’s schools, in the trunks of our cars, and practice the duck-and-cover technique at work . Yet, how many are going to take steps to prevent the threats we face to our daily lives in the San Diego area from becoming much more grave disasters that can disrupt our lives and economy for many years and even decades to come?

• Will your apartment building be habitable or rubble after the quake?

• Will older tilt-up warehouses and high-rises still be functioning?

• Will you or a loved one be among the million people left homeless?

California officials and business leaders need to take serious actions to sustain San Diego and other communities both socially and economically .

Optimum Seismic has been recommending these vital steps for this process for many years:

• Prepare inventories identifying vulnerable structures and other hazards in our communities .

• Raise public awareness of the risks faced locally and the actions that can be taken now to build resilience

• Implement incentive programs to assist building owners in retrofitting their older buildings to protect the public .

California ranks as the sixth largest economy in the world . In fact, 17 percent the nation’s job growth and 24 percent of its gross domestic product increase between 2012 and 2016 can be attributed to California, according to Stephen Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy .

If the Golden State were to suffer a catastrophe of epic proportions from an earthquake, the impacts would be felt throughout the nation . Resiliency against earthquakes is not only a California issue, but also a matter of national, and potentially global concern .

The time for taking action is now . Call Optimum Seismic at 833-978-7664 for a complimentary evaluation of your building today .
